When people used to say 'speak your truth' I honestly didn't even know what my truth was.

I was so lost in other people's dogma and my own self-defeating paradigms, that I couldn't see anything other than my limitations and circumstances.

It took me 10 years to realize there was something more....

I'm so fucking bored with vanilla marketing.

Why are you putting neutrality on a pedestal, as if it's moral higher ground. Cause it's not.

What would the world be like if we all were vanilla? Nice. Sweet. Plain. Everyone knows what to expect from vanilla.

We also need rocky road, pistachio,...

"Be nice."

"If you don’t have something nice to say then don’t say it at all."

Were you raised on these sayings?

Did you know that biting your tongue and ‘being nice’ and squashing down your inner desires can also be a survival mechanism? These sayings were also a way to...

"If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Nah bro.

We are MEANT to feel allll the things... even the things that we have labeled as "bad."

Anger
Frustration
Sadness
Loneliness
Confusion
Defeat
Hurt
Fear

So this idea of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything...

Stop prepologizing before speaking your truth.

Usually, people prepologize jokingly for whatever they're going to say or do when they get drunk.

But I see far too many women prepologizing similarly before they share their opinion or thoughts.

You try to make your truth a little bit more palatable by...

Authenticity doesn't work when you are operating from safety.

You don't get to be authentic from inside the box.

Authenticity doesn't live in your comfort zone.

I see so many gurus talking about living life in your fullest expression, letting the world see your magic, and stepping fully into who you were meant to be… etc. etc. etc.

And that's great and all. I say stuff like that too, sometimes. And it's all completely true.

But I know there are some...

An open letter to Rachel Hollis.

As I read the posts flooding my Facebook newsfeed last night, I sighed, shook my head and felt every ounce of the shock, disgust and sadness of your ex-fans, as you sat on your throne and judged and labeled an entire group of women as "dumb."

On a negative thought binge?

I never win anything
Why is everyone else successful
I wish I could be like her
I always suck at this stuff
When will I catch a lucky break
I don't have enough time
I am stuck in my situation
I can't control what happens to me
I can't afford it

"Be a lighthouse."

Basically using the lighthouse as a means of bringing people to you, or relief for a weary sailor.

People are using the term lighthouse to get people to come to them. That lighthouses are meant to safely guide sailors to shore.

Yeah, no.

Lighthouses are meant to repel sailors...

I see online business owners sharing how they run a business without knowing their personality type... and insinuating that personality types are kinda pointless. (Even if they don't come out and say it... the insinuation is clear.)

They will say, “I never worried about personality types,...

Collaboration Bullies.

Yep it's a thing and I'm going to put a name on it and expose it for what it is

What is a collaboration bully?

It is a person who shames someone if they do not like collaborating. (This often happens in a very gaslighting sort of way.)

The shaming is most often achieved by...
